James O'Brien Rwanda isn't about refugees. Its to create the inevitable clash with ECHR and then use it to withdraw from their 'interference'. Rwanda is a Trojan horse for a much bigger prize. Why is no one mentioning this? Political Editors should be analysing this.

The five people who died in the Channel this morning knew that there was a very real risk of death when they set sail in a small boat. At least, the adults did. Death was, to use a word in the news a lot this morning, a 'deterrent'. It didn't work.

Home Secretary James Cleverly has posted a back slapping video on the passing of the #RwandaBill

He fails to mention it disaplies human rights, puts the UK in breach of its international legal obligations & is a shameless power grab that will put the Government above the law!

Today at the High Court, I joined representatives of the legal team taking the UK Government to court over arms exports to Israel.

Great to hear that @glan_law & Palestinian rights group @alhaq have now been granted a full judicial review hearing at the High Court!

Nandy is asked 3 times whether Israel breached international law when it cut off power & water to Gaza

Nandy refuses to answer. Instead she obfuscates & says Israel has the right to defend itself. When pressed for the third time she says it would be grandstanding to answer the Q

Breaking: Police just broke up and arrested all students at the University of Minnesota encampment for Gaza , charging them with trespassing and banning all students from campus for one year.

So, Lisa Nandy was the chair of Labour Friends of Palestine at the same time as being funded by arch Israel lobbyist Trevor Chinn, in addition to sitting on the board of Labour Together (an org he also funds) alongside him.

With friends like these....

America has handed #Israel another 26.38 Billion in genocide aid money…

Slaughtering over 15,000 innocent children will never be enough for these regimes, that seem exempt from international law…🇵🇸💔

This is still false & inaccurate...if they truly studied FEC filings as claimed in the tweet they'd know AIPAC using UDP spends millions on TV ads supporting or opposing certain candidates, and for those electeds benefitting the pols they want to keep in power

Tánaiste accuses Israel of vindictive punishment in #Gaza
IDF's guilty of ongoing petty confiscations from aid trucks, including children's scissors, green sleeping bags & orange juice, on the basis that Israel regards them as 'luxury' items

The following is a statement by faculty at the department of sociology at Columbia University. (1/16)

The event is not due to start for an hour and regrettably officers are already dealing with disorder.
 
There is an area allocated for this event in Richmond Terrace. This group went past it and continued up Whitehall.

When officers formed a cordon and asked the group to turn

Just helped out a 70 year old guy and (I think) his daughter with my first aid kit. He had an England top on and was outside the Clarence when a 'patriot,' punched him in the face. Police were nearby and jumped on the assailant which seemed to kick everything off.

Designed and intentional Genocide!!

There are many many Jewish folk on the marches who are - quite literally- telling the world they are Jewish.

Ian Austin is a fool & is clearly chatting rubbish.

So the Rwanda bill becomes law, with Britain an inspiration to the extreme right across Europe. Summary deportation with no right of appeal, some manacled in 21st century convict flights. If the ECHR dares to challenge, we leave that. All to reflect “ the people’s will”. Not mine

Beyond the tragic toll of death, injury, and destruction, war inflicts other agonizing wounds.

In Beit Lahia, Gaza, Palestinians have faced 200 days of forced displacement, a profound tragedy amid relentless Israeli bombardment.

Israel has accused UNRWA-run schools of promoting antisemitism in educational materials. This is what the independent review found:

'UNRWA's practice is to use host-country curriculums and textbooks in accordance with UNESCO recommendations.'

'UNRWA has consistently worked on

The bitter truth about Israel, its western backers and #UNRWA

'This is a pretty damning report. But damning not for UNRWA, but for Israel'
